Hi! I am a documentary artist and educator based between New York City and Oregon. I use audio and new media to produce place-based experiences and documentaries, often investigating musical histories, realities and possibilities. My work incorporates archival research, social practice, psychogeography, interviewing, walking, listening, and music theory.I will receive my MFA in Integrated Media Arts from Hunter College CUNY during Spring 2024.
During the 2022-23 academic year I was a Social Practice CUNY Actionist Fellow, and I previously taught in Hunter’s Film & Media department. During Summer 2023, I developed and led Bronx Audio Tour, a summer work-based learning internship at DreamYard with a triple focus on place, audio production and community engagement.
My practice is informed by my past lives as a DIY filmmaker, jazz pianist, French immersion preschool teacher, community radio host and standup comedian.
